How to install package from launchpad.net?
You're probably better off not adding the PPA as it might break other software versions when you run apt update
, and you will likely have to use apt dist-upgrade
to install them. These are specific to different versions of Ubuntu, the link you gave is to the source code packages.
I'm guessing you don't want to compile the binaries from source, so you could try downloading a more recent deb package of ssh-client. The following is experimental, so please note that trying this is at your own risk, I'm not sure what version of Ubuntu you're using, nor if the recent binaries are compatible. If you want to use a newer version of ssh-client you're better off compiling the source, but this can be very tedious if you're not familiar which is why I've provided the steps below.
Access this page.
Select the version you're after (I'm guessing amd64 if you are using 64-bit or i386 if you are using 32-bit, please check your architecture by running lscpu
in the terminal if you're not sure)
Then click the link that looks like:
security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
You can then install the package using the GUI by opening the .deb file that you've downloaded.
If the above breaks your installation, you can open the .deb file again and uninstall. Then run sudo apt install ssh-client
to reinstall the default version.

I want to install recent version of
ssh
available from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh to enable-J
option (not sure whether-J
is available in particular version, but there is1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.1
version in16.04
). There is PPA term and many information of how to install them. In the case of mentioned link I can't find what isuser/repo
pair.When I search I get the links as above, not a PPA. But themselves not contain an information of how to install, say,
1:7.5p1-7ubuntu2
version ofssh
. So, how to deal with them? -

-J
option is around since Yakkety, which hadopenssh-client_7.3p1-1
. I'd use the currect Zesty package, see the manpage to get sure.
